The Onion’s SportsDome Sends Up ESPN, Sports Shows

The Onion is launching a new show tomorrow night on Comedy Central: SportsDome, a satiric take on ESPN and other sports-is-everything programming. From early clips and descriptions that Speakeasy has seen, the show sounds very promising and very funny (in one segment, a dying girl and Phillies fan wants as a last wish to heckle the Mets’ David Wright). Here’s a clip featuring a report on Rodney Harrison’s “autobiography,” in which he reveals that throughout his NFL career he was unaware he was playing a sport. He just liked to chase and tackle people.
